Anyway I am familiar with languages similar to PHP, javaa script, and also languages which have similarities on the surface to python such as Lingo (macromedia Director). so python is looking fairly straight forward, but what i am noticing is a complete lack of basic starter knowledge from myself - to be expected one would think :D
So what i ask is, for someone who wants to dip his toe in the pond and runs a powerbook with os x what tools, resources should I look into as being the most useful?
Also is it best to use an IDE like the one which comes from installing macPython, or is it best to use a basic text editor, or perhaps even xcode could be recommended (esp if I wanted to build some simple UI using interface builder?)
Any and all responses greatly received.
cheers
john
